How to Play

Overview

Play with 3–7 players. One random player is the Imposter and receives a different question. The rest (the Crew) receive the same question. Everyone answers without knowing which question others received. Then, players vote who they think the Imposter is.

Create or Join a Lobby

• Click Create Lobby on the home page. Share the lobby URL/code with your friends.
• Or join an existing lobby using its code.
• In the lobby, the host can use Invite (copies the lobby link) or QR Code (shows a scannable code) to bring players in quickly.
• If you're logged in, you'll auto-join lobbies with your account name (no need to retype it).

Round Flow

1. The host clicks Start Game to begin a round.
2. Everyone receives a question. One player (the Imposter) receives a different question.
3. Answer within the time limit. If you don't answer in time, a blank is auto-submitted.
4. When answers lock, the game moves to Voting and shows all answers. You'll see who is still "waiting to vote" as votes come in.
5. The host can click Reveal Question during voting to show the Crew question to all players.
6. Everyone votes for who they think is the Imposter. Results are shown and scores are updated.

Host Controls

• Start Game: Begin the first round (visible only while waiting).
• Next Round: Start another round with new questions and a new Imposter (appears after the first round begins; hidden while waiting).
• End Game: End the session and show final scores/winners (only available after the game has started).
• Answer Time: Adjust the per-round answer time between rounds (hidden during a round).
• Reveal Question: During voting, reveal the Crew question.
• Invite and QR Code: Quickly share your lobby link or a QR for players to scan.

Joining Mid-Round

Players can join while a round is in progress. They'll spectate that round and join as full participants in the next one.

Reconnecting

• If you momentarily disconnect, your spot is held for about 10 seconds so you can reconnect without losing progress.
• Refreshing the page will usually put you straight back into the lobby; your name and vote/answer are preserved.
• If you're logged in, you'll also auto-join with your account name.
